How did a bankrupt unstable criminal moron become President?



Read how a traitor became president, so far as we know, in the Mueller Report:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5955118-The-Mueller-Report.html

I get the feeling Acting AG Whittaker did his best, and CIA AG Barr is doing his best, to put the kibbosh on We the People getting to the bottom of things.

In the meantime, Trumputin does all he can to shred the Constitution and enrage his base against us for noticing.

Les Moonves, creep that he is, told the truth at least once in his life when he said that kid-gloves treatment of Trump was good for CBS's bottom line, and the country could go to blazes for all he cared.

Many of us saw this coming and the Media even refused or did not want to comment about our Letters and e-mails calling them out. And I like many others made damn sure we complained.

Do remember getting a response from the NY Times PR department basically repeating Moonves's same position.

In the last two weeks we are seeing Comcast Media(NBC/MSNBC)doing their level best to placate the King. Notice the Meet the Press bullshit ahead of the Dem Debates in which the same Moderator will Participate. ABC Disney with lightweight George Pop doing his little stand up slop,the Guy could never do a followup question. But,Money and Privilege get you entry into the Kings Chamber. Going to get mamma ugly shortly.

Conservatives have spent the last 50 years building a messaging infrastructure to deliver their talking points and "alternative facts" across the nation on a daily basis.

"Don't trust the lying liberal media" has been conservative boilerplate for half a century. Ratcheting up the rhetoric to win elections and ousting backsliders whose priorities did not place enacting a conservative wish-list of policies above all other things has been SOP since the mid 70s.

Vlad spliced a second set of controls into an already-constructed wrecking ball.
